Re: [registrars] Recapitulations of nominations, BEAST, Nomcom, GNSO Representative.

[elliot noss <enoss@xxxxxxxxxx>]

here is my acceptance (from safari and lucky to find some stray packets 
:-)). I accept this nomination and would be proud to serve on nomcom.
As for conflict of interest, I am not aware of an potential conflicts of 
interest that would interfere with my election to the nominating 
committee. Should my situation or interests change, I will immediately 
disclose as much for review by the constituency.
I apologize for not including a longer statement as to my 
qualifications, but right now I am blowing ants off of my keyboard 
(hoping they don't sneak in). Thanks all.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Regards
